Jean-Gabriel Domergue (1889–1962) was a renowned French painter and engraver, celebrated especially for his portraits of elegant women or, more precisely, a feminine figure in a style that evolved over time, clearly recognizable, marked by Art Deco. A distant cousin of Toulouse-Lautrec, he studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris and began exhibiting at the Salon des Artistes Français as early as 1906, where he earned several distinctions, including a second Grand Prix de Rome in 1913. In 1939, he created the iconic poster for the inaugural Cannes Film Festival, which was ultimately canceled, depicting a woman applauding beside a man in formal attire. In 1950, he was elected to the Institut de France and became the curator of the Jacquemart-André Museum, where he organized major exhibitions.
